Inolex
Lexgard Natural MHG MB is a 100% natural multifunctional
ingredient from sustainably-sourced castor and RSPO Mass Balance
palm feedstocks. It protects formulations from microbial
growth with strong efficacy against bacteria and yeast emulsions. It
controls odor by preventing growth of odor-causing bacteria and
helps minimize or eliminate soaping or foaming during rubbing of
silicone-free emotions. Applications include Sunscreens.
Jungbunzlauer Inc.
Citrofol AI is a 100% biobased, COSMOS-approved emollient
derived from citric acid. It solubilizes organic-based UV filters and
creates homogenous stable dispersions with inorganic UV filters.
It enhances the sensory characteristics of natural-based Sunscreens
with the potential to enhance UV protection.
Lubrizol
In a Sunscreen, the particles of Sunhancer Eco SPF booster
increase the number of scattering sites, limiting the interaction
of UV rays with the skin. The product impacts the UVA-UVB
spectrum and works with organic and inorganic Sunscreen actives.
The micron-sized, spherical particles of the SPF booster are made
from sustainably-sourced waxes that make the booster inherently
biodegradable and nonpersistent.
Mibelle Biochemistry
InfraGuard blocks infrared and blue light-induced free radical
formation, protects mitochondrial DNA, inhibits light-induced
skin aging and helps prevent the loss of skin density upon sun
exposure. Applications include Sun Care products.
Seiwa Kasei Co., Ltd.
Amitose 3GA, an original vitamin C derivative, suppresses generations
of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in fibroblasts due to UVA,
blue light and near-infrared ray exposure. Applications include
After Sun products.
Shin-Etsu Silicones of America
SPD-T5L is a fine titanium dioxide powder dispersion in 2cs
dimethicone that helps prevent UV radiation from reaching skin.
The product is essentially non-whitening, with a transparent
appearance on the skin, and has a silky, light feel. The dispersion
is stabilized by a proprietary branched silicone-polyglycerin
copolymer dispersant that helps break down the metal oxide
agglomerates to give the dispersion a high active content with low
product viscosity. The dispersant also reduces the density of the
metal oxides, thereby enhancing suspension stability. The product
provides an important tool for chemists to make low viscosity Sunscreen
products, including sprays, with a light, non-greasy skin-feel
without compromised stability.
X-25-9135 is a fine zinc oxide powder dispersion in 2cs dimethicone
that prevents UVA radiation from reaching the skin. Applications
include Sun Care and Self Tanner sprays.
USG-1011 is an elastomer gel swollen in naturally-derived
alkanes. It is a multifunctional sensory enhancer with a dry, silky,
smooth feel with no residue. It is formulated to be an effective
thickener in various silicone and natural organic oils. When added
to the oil phase, it helps to stabilize both w/o and o/w emul-
sions. The product helps eliminate or reduce shine in Sunscreens,
including sprays.
SNF
Flocare NAT 132 is a multifunctional inverse emulsion that can
be used to formulate Sun Care products with no heat required.
It is 67% naturally-derived, according to ISO 16128. The polymer
can thicken, stabilize and emulsify organic and/or inorganic UV
filters.
Symrise
With its combination of UVA and UVB filters, Neo Heliopan
Flat offers broad spectrum protection from UV radiation. This
enables the manufacture of sunscreen products—such as sprays,
lotions, creams and oils with SPF 6–50+—without the need to add
additional UV filters. Thereby, fewer raw materials are needed to
accelerate the development and production of Sunscreen products.
The substance is also suitable for cold production processes, which
may save energy and benefit the environment, said Symrise.
New ingredient SymEffect Sun comes from natural sources,
increases the efficiency of the UV filters used and improves formulation
stability. It also improves water resistance and helps ensure a
pleasant feeling on the skin after application. Spray
“I say, old chap, may I borrow your sunscreen spray?”
